My mouth just fell open when I saw that The Fiercest Bitch In All The Land, Charlize Theron, brought SEAN PENN as her date to the 2014 Met Gala. I mean, of course, we all know that Charlize and Sean have been dating for more than four months. But to walk one of the biggest red carpets of the year together?! That’s huge. And it’s on HER terms too. This isn’t the Oscars, where Sean is on equal footing as an Oscar winner and Hollywood power player. This is the fashion world, where Charlize has been ruling for more than a decade. This feels more like Charlize showing off her man at the big event.

Anyway, Charlize and Sean not only came together, they stuck to the theme, which was supposed to be black-and-white. Anna Wintour even wanted all of the dudes to wear white-tie. I can only think that Charlize just dressed Sean Penn. Like, did she order his suit?! Charlize’s dress is Dior, but of course. Her dress is stunning, and I like the black jacket on her shoulders too. It’s a very sophisticated look from a woman who almost always looks great. PS… I love her hair and her jewelry.

Oh, and Marion Cotillard was there too, also in Dior (she’s a Dior Girl, just like Charlize and J-Law). I kind of think Marion got the short end of the stick from Dior – Charlize got a goddess dress and Marion got a short party frock? It’s a cute dress, it’s just more appropriate for a movie premiere, not the Met Gala. PS… LOOK AT HER SHOES.

I was going to say the same thing. For me, Charlize is one of the most beautiful women in the world (If not THE most beautiful) but she does look harsh here.

And the dress is fug. It makes her hips looks huge, which I am sure they are not. But then, Dior these days is mostly fug. John Galliano may well be a nasty person, but by god, he knew how to create stunningly beautiful dresses.

Sean Penn looks like a fug Oompa Loompa next to the goddess that is Charlize. He drags her down!
Maybe he is wonderful father figure to Jackson and treats her like a queen, but my superficial side can’t help but cringe everytime I see them together -_-

Yes and he is trying way to hard with the facial expressions to appear bad*ss. He seems very aware that he is trying to keep company with a goddess and it isn’t working. No matter how much squinting and pursing of lips he does he still doesn’t look f-ckable.

Charlise is a statuesque woman but this dress makes her look squat and wide. And maybe I just have my man hater shoes on today but Sean appears to be dealing out an insecure, I own this woman, vibe. But – Sean doesn’t look half bad here… not nearly as hammy as usual – well in half the pics anyway…

Charlize is a good influence on Sean. This is the Best he has looked in over 10 years. Charlize has a perfect figure- but her dress is very unflattering.
Sean looks so proud to be with Charlize-i am amazed they are still together. I guess they might prove us all wrong

I think Charlize Theron’s dress is pretty basic, but she really doesn’t need anything more complicated. Love the hair and the jacket too. And props to Sean Penn, never liked him, but something tells me it takes guts to simply approach “The Fiercest Bitch In All The Land” (well said) and he did more than approaching.
This woman can add serious value to a man!

I expected better from Marion Cotillard, she usually has amazing outfits, but this one doesn’t look so amazing. (the shoes, even the hair and make-up look wrong) Next time…

I like Charlizes’ dress, very female and elegant.
My favourites were Rhianna and Victoria Beckham (although she is way too thin)
And, probably in the minority, I loved Lupitas fish net get up! Love that she has some fun with fashion. The girl is radiant and drop dead gorgeous!

I don’t love it, it makes her look hippy, which must be a fashion crime as her body is perfect. And I can’t even look at him beside her, they just skeeve me out as a couple. She was a young victim of domestic violence and is now with a known abuser? Yuck.

Marion is kind of cute, the colour is lovely, shoes are all over the place/hard to take in though.

I think she looks great! As for Marion – I like her dress, but I want everyone F.O.R.M.A.L. This is a gala!

Also – I wish people would stick to the theme – I think we’d see more interesting fashion because people would be creative within the constraints of the theme, rather than just picking whatever they want to wear.

I agree Charlize face looks hard. I think the jacket is fine. The photographer might have caught one of those awkward in between moments where she was bending over to say something (perhaps let go of me) to the wee leatherette and she got caught mid word.

I’m clearly in the minority here but I ADORE Marion’s look, one of the best dressed for me, by far. The color on her is divine, I like the cut and length and I even like the shoes – quirky and eccentric in the RIGHT kind of way. Beautiful.

But the big question for Dior – where was Jennifer Lawrence? I heard a rumour that she backed out due to filming obligations.

I know I am the only person in All the Land to feel this way, but I am really loving Charlize and Penn together. It’s like he’s trying so hard to be a better person, and I find that incredibly endearing. Look at him in that white tie! He’s so willing to be what she needs him to be. Will this last? Who knows. But we see so many Hollywood types change for the worse. I think this would be a really romantic story if Sean changes for the better.

I just cannot accept that Charlize would go after Penn. Why? He treated Robyn Wright like crap. I don’t like it when other women go for a guy they know was a jerk to their previous wife/wives. What happened to the girl code?

Charlize can do no wrong with her height and body and long beautiful lines. Plus she’s a beauty. She’s one of the few that can always carry off couture gowns and not have them wear her. This is a more simple but still dramatic look.

No. Charlize is starting to look like a rich socialite with that frozen face nd the swept back hair. And I think we should be sceptical of the myth that women can ‘straighten out’ a ‘bad’ men. It encourages them to waste their time.
